Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo'

Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo', commonly known as Tatarian Dogwood, Red Twig, is a woody landscape shrub valued for its gold or yellow and white flowers during spring. It typically matures 8–10 feet tall and 5–10 feet wide. Grow it in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained clay or loam soil. Its native range or documented parentage is Central and Eastern Asia. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. In the landscape, it works well in accent, border, and hedge. Once established, it shows useful tolerance to deer, erosion, and rabbits.

Builds the middle layer of the garden, adding structure between perennials and trees. Creates an early-season lift after winter with fresh color and growth. Supports a more active, living garden with flowers that pollinators can use.
